I came back home to give Sherbert his antibiotics, and when I picked him up, he moved his eyes around but would not open them. He is reacting like it hurts to open his eyes, I don't know he is having a reaction to his antibiotic, or if this is from the high number of Protozoal. He slightly opens...
He didn’t get any injections, his antibiotics are given by mouth.. I found stuck shed in between his claw, I’m wondering if his claw is soar so he isn’t grabbing anything…
UPDATE
Sherbert was closing his eyes most of the morning, he moves them around but doesn’t open them
It was really hard trying to get him to take his medicine yesterday, he bit me quite a few times, (thank goodness for gloves) I think he’s really stressed from the vet and medicine. He is...
Me too, he will have another fecal test after the antibiotics, and hopefully everything will be good.
Hoping your boy continues to do good and stays strong ❤️
Just got back From the vet. Sherbert pooped while we were waiting for them to come in so he did a fecal test before he ran the blood work. Sherbert has a high number of Protozoal, they gave antibiotics to take every other day for three weeks. He should start to feel better in a few days.
Thank you! He ate two hornworms this morning. The vet visit is in two hours, and I will show results when we get back. He is looking a lot better since he ate, but is still closing his eyes.
The vet called after I sent a picture and thinks it might be the start of an infection. I was freaking out when I saw him close his eyes but now that he’s moving around and eating some food I feel a lot better.
Thank you all for your support and help ❤️
He ate four dubia roaches!!!! I had to put them in a certain spot, but he ate four!! I have silkworms coming tomorrow, but I wasn’t able to find hornworms, I’ll check tomorrow before once all the stores open. I’m so happy he ate, once he did he got brighter and his eyes started looking better!
Thank you! We really need it. A fly flew in his enclosure and he tried to eat it, it flew away too soon but he is hunting it down right now. I’m going to find a store that has some black soldier flies, or even fruit flies, anything to get him to eat.
